My Reading and Listening List

Here is a list of entrepreneurial, business and personal development books I’ve read or podcasts I listen to and would recommend to others.

Books

	How to Win Friends and Influence People Dale Carnegie The classic book on networking for business and personal life. A must read for anyone who wants to become more successful
	The Four Hour Work Week Timothy Ferris This book will teach you how to work smarter and avoid becoming the overworked micromanaging business owner. Even if you’re not planning to run your own business this book will give you ideas on how to reduce your working hours and how to be location independent. I thoroughly recommend it.
	Think and Grow Rich Napoleon Hill Learn to think the way the rich and successful do. This book also explains why joining a mastermind group and self-belief are important to success. A classic of personal development literature.
	How to Work a Room Susan RoAne The classic reference on personal networking. This is my latest acquisition, so I haven’t finished reading it yet. It comes highly recommended from the Art of Charm podcast though.
	Virtual Freedom Chris Ducker Learn how to outsource parts of business to virtual staff. A great reference on how to manage and use virtual assistants effectively.
	Rich Dad, Poor Dad Robert T. Kiyosaki An excellent book on how rich people think differently than the middle class. Helps you to think about assets and liabilities in a different way. I’d also particularly recommend Rich Dad’s Cashflow Quadrant. His other books are good too.

I’ve recently bought the following books on recommendations of others but not yet had time to read them:
